British singer-songwriter RAYE has recently made headlines with two significant developments in her career: her acting debut in the upcoming thriller "Lineage" and the ongoing success of her "This Tour May Contain New Music."
Acting Debut in "Lineage"
RAYE is set to make her acting debut in "Lineage," a new thriller directed by Yann Demange, known for his work on "Top Boy" and "'71." The film's cast includes acclaimed actress Isabelle Huppert, Dali Benssalah, and Adam Bessa. "Lineage" follows Tariq, a London-based father rebuilding his life after prison, whose brother draws him back into the criminal underworld and the orbit of their crime-boss mother. Principal photography is scheduled to begin in London in August 2026. This marks a significant milestone for RAYE, transitioning from her successful music career into acting. (stereogum.com)
